This is true. If I allow the AI to set the lineups, many of my draft picks are never used as starters so I have it set for me to set the lineups. I guess a way around it is to only have the players I want on the minor league rosters and use ghost players to fill out the roster. For some reason I'm not really crazy about using ghost players because I have had a few players who were in my system that were really terrible when I signed them but somehow they managed to develop into pretty good players. You just never know when you will find that surprise. On the other hand I've had a few good prospects that just fizzled out and never amounted to anything. So, I like to have full rosters.
